Ja’Marr Chase said he is the best player of the league with the following points…
CINCINNATI — The Bengals will pick up Ja’Marr Chase’s fifth-year option this offseason and now they know how much it’s going to cost them.
Chase is a 3-time Pro Bowler, which means he’ll get $21.8 million on the fifth year option. His salary could change if the Bengals are able to negotiate a long-term deal with him at some point this offseason.
The Bengals are franchise tagging Tee Higgins, which means the wide receiver will make $21.8 million this season if the two sides can’t agree to a long-term deal.
The Bengals also exercised Joe Burrow’s fifth-year option last year, before ultimately signing him to a 5-year, $275 million extension. They’ll look to do the same with Chase. He’s entering the fourth year of his rookie contract, but the fifth-year option will keep him under contract through the 2025 season.
